Scranton Negligent Driver Attorney

Holding Negligent and Reckless Drivers Accountable for Dangerous Driving and Car Accidents

In Pennsylvania and throughout the United States, drivers engage in unsafe driving every day. They take actions that are careless or outright aggressive and put the safety of other drivers in jeopardy. At Rosenn Jenkins & Greenwald LLP, we hold these unsafe drivers accountable for negligent or reckless driving that causes serious personal injury.

Since 1954, attorneys at our northeastern Pennsylvania law firm have successfully represented clients in civil litigation, achieving a record of success that has been recognized by our peers. Many of the cases we handle involve serious accidents causing spinal cord injury, brain injury and wrongful death.

Distracted Driving

In over 50 years of handling personal injury cases, we have learned many things about the strategies necessary for success. Having seen a broad range of cases and situations, we have learned that negligent drivers are frequently multitaskers. Often too busy, distracted or sleep deprived to be behind the wheel, they put others' lives in danger in many ways:

• Texting while driving
• Reading behind the wheel
• Eating while driving
• Tending to children
• Focusing on on-board computers
• Speeding
• Changing lanes without looking or signaling
• Making rude gestures
• Tailgating

Careless and Reckless Driving

Many of the cases we handle involve careless and reckless driving, which happens when motor vehicle operators disregard the safety of others or the rules of the road. They speed, change lanes quickly and without signaling, or take other actions that have great potential to cause harm.

While careless and reckless drivers often do not intend to cause accidents, their actions are common causes of personal injury. At the accident scene, they may be ticketed and can even face jail time, license suspension and steep fines.

If the other driver involved in your car accident has been convicted of careless or reckless driving, it does not necessarily mean that you will win your personal injury case. However, it can be a strong factor.
